Chapter 258 Mystergang, do you want a wife or not?
On the top floor of the King's Castle, Chess and Mistgang stood side by side, looking down at the royal capital below, which was filled with panicked people.
Although the main battlefield where Fairy Tail Guild and the Royal Army clashed was on the castle side, the fierce fighting, especially Chase's terrifying Death Curse, still made them sense the impending danger.
The magic that suddenly flowed into the sky and then suddenly stopped only exacerbated the panic of those who already suffered from a phobia of magic.
Everyone was speculating about what had happened and whether the country would be destroyed as a result.
After briefly questioning Lucy, Erza, and the others, Chase roughly understood the course of the entire battle in the capital.
Just as he had predicted, the King's Army, which was fighting with only limited magical weapons without Knightvoka's participation, showed a one-sided trend, including Chief of Staff Bairo, Deputy Chief of Staff Coco, and several captains of the magical combat units such as Lili.
Seeing Fairy Tail's unstoppable advance, King Faust, who already harbored ambitions, directly attacked the kingdom of the Beyonders, hoping to seize a large amount of magic power and turn the tide of the war.
Erza and Gildarts stopped him, and in a fit of rage, he unleashed the kingdom's strongest magical war weapon, "Dragon Knight," and engaged in a fierce battle with Natsu, Gajeel, and Wendy, three Dragon Slayer mages, before being captured alive.
Many minor incidents occurred during this time, such as Happy defending Charlene in front of the Minister of the Beyonders and unexpectedly meeting his biological parents (whom he was unaware of), Edlucy leading Ed's Fairy Tail to participate in the war, and Gajeel encountering his counterpart who was a war correspondent while searching for his cat, and so on.
Aside from the easier victory and some minor details, the overall development is quite similar to the original story. "I'm sorry, Chase, there are still many headaches to deal with, and the public's emotions need to be calmed down as soon as possible, so we can't hold a celebration banquet."
A hint of apology and lingering sorrow appeared on Mistgang's face, which was still not completely swollen.
The matter of the divine mage instilled in him an extremely strong sense of crisis. He now needed to resolve the troubles in the capital as soon as possible and make contact with Acnologia, who guarded Fez in the northern continent.
"It's okay, there will be plenty of opportunities for banquets in the future, don't worry about it."
Chase watched as the army appeared below to appease the people, and sighed softly, "Besides, we can't stay too long. We need to get back to the chairman as soon as possible to report to him."
Putting aside the major event of establishing a spacetime tunnel between Edolas and Esland, they've been here for several days now, and the old man is probably too worried to eat.
Achoo!
At that moment, Makarov, who was in Magnolia and hiding in a dark corner of the guild to peek at photos of beautiful women, suddenly sneezed.
"Hey Chase, could you please tell the guild leader that I probably won't be able to return to the guild for a while?"
When the guild was mentioned, Mystergan's expression showed even greater apology.
As a prince, and the "culprit" who led otherworldly mages to overthrow the king's rule, he must be held responsible to Edolas.
"Don't you know the old man's personality? Don't worry, if he were here, he would definitely support your approach." Shao Chess turned his gaze to Mistgang and smiled, "Besides, if you stay here, we'll have a reason to support Edolas."
Upon hearing this, Mystogan's pupils twitched, and he lowered his head, clenching his fists: "Can I still be considered a Fairy Tail mage like this?"
He recalled his earlier impulsive decision to hide his death from everyone and go to his death alone.
In fact, from that time on, he had already lost the right to stay in Fairy Tail, not to mention that he now has to stay in Edolas and will not be able to return to the guild for a long time!
Edolas's current severe shortage of magical resources means that they cannot interact frequently.
"It's not like we'll never be able to meet again. You can ask the old man about this yourself once things have settled down here," Chess said casually, waving his hand.
Although he knew that Mistgang had no such intention, he had to be careful and refused to answer any questions that only the guild master could decide.
If the old man brings this up later and tries to label himself as someone who "acts like a chairman," then I'll be in big trouble!
Seeing the usually flamboyant and destructive maniac become so cautious, Mistgang, guessing the reason, was first taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"It's just being the president, why are you so worried and afraid?"
"Go ask Gildarts; if he's not afraid, then I'm not afraid."
"—You bastard!"
A few jokes eased the somber and serious atmosphere somewhat.
Mistgang looked up into the distance, remained silent for a few seconds, and then said softly, "Chess, take good care of the old man, the guild members, and Riley for me."
Upon learning of the global crisis, Rili decided to stay in Edolas and stand with Mystogan, but Gajeel was not happy about it and bluntly stated that even if he was knocked unconscious and put in a sack, he would still catch him and make him his cat at the guild.
The two almost came to blows.
In the end, it was Chess who said that the divine mages would not invade for the time being, and that Rili could become stronger through training in Eslans and better protect Edolas. With the added persuasion of Mystogan, Rili finally wavered.
"That's for sure! Compared to something so obvious, Mystogan, you—"
Chase abruptly changed the subject, his expression suddenly turning serious.
Is there anything else important?
Seeing his serious expression, Mistgang immediately dropped his relaxed demeanor and tensed up slightly.
Under Mistgang's tense gaze, Chess slowly raised his arm, and a dazzling card magic circle bloomed from his fingertips.
"Do you want a wife?"
"Huh? Ah!!"
It wasn't until he subconsciously took the card from the smiling Chase that Mistergan realized what was happening, his eyes widening like saucers.
As she looked down, Erza Knightworth, who was imprisoned in the card, heard the noise, suddenly looked up, and cast a fierce and intimidating glare at her.
Their eyes met across the cards.
Mystogan's face instantly turned bright red, and he was at a loss for words: "Wh-what wife? This...this isn't fairy hunting, is it? You, you, you, how could you suddenly—"
He was completely flustered. He wanted to throw away the incredibly hot card in his hand as soon as possible, but he was worried that doing so would hurt the Knightvoka inside.
Our prince is such a gentle person.
"Stop pretending. A young man's blushing speaks volumes. Your behavior has already given away what you're thinking."
Chess was quite pleased with Mystergan's unusually flustered and helpless appearance. After making a joke with a smile, he simply patted his behind and left, leaving Mystergan, holding the cards, standing there bewildered in the wind.
"Feed Chess! Don't think you can just walk away like that!"
"I...I'm blushing because you...you...you inexplicably brought up such a weird topic as your wife!!!"
